They are doing things in reverse this season.

The Spurs remain the league’s only unbeaten road team following a 105-91 triumph at Minnesota. Kawhi (kah-WY’) Leonard poured in 31 points on 11 of 15 shooting after failing to score in the first quarter. Patty Mills added 15 points off the bench as the Spurs improved to 13-0 away from San Antonio, tying the second best road start to a season.

The Spurs also improved to 18-4 overall despite playing without Tony Parker, who suffered a bruised left knee against Milwaukee last week.

Charlie Coyle also scored for the Wild (12-8-4), who snapped a three-game skid.

Patrick Maroon had the goal for the Oilers (14-10-3), who had won two straight.

Edmonton got on the board less than 3 minutes into the game. Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk was able to stop a point shot by Mark Fayne, but couldn’t recover in time to stop Maroon from scoring his eighth of the season on the rebound.

The Wild tied it with 55 seconds to go in the opening period. Coyle was able to muscle in a rebound off Oilers goalie Jonas Gustavsson’s skate for his ninth goal this season.

The Gophers (8-4) are in the Holiday for the first time and in a California bowl for the first time since the 1962 Rose Bowl. Minnesota is in a bowl for a fifth straight year, tying a program record.

The Cougars (8-4) are in the postseason for the second straight year and in the Holiday Bowl for the third time, having played in it in 1981 and 2003.

Washington State has won three of five meetings with the Gophers. This will be the first time they’ve played since 1988.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Dez Bryant caught four passes for 84 yards and the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, helping the Dallas Cowboys win their 11th straight game with a 17-15 victory over the Minnesota Vikings Thursday night.

Bryant’s 56-yard catch in the first half set up Ezekiel Elliott’s 1-yard plunge. The receiver caught an 8-yard scoring pass in the fourth quarter after a fumbled punt by Minnesota’s Adam Thielen.

Elliott rushed for 86 yards on 20 carries for the Cowboys (11-1). They have the longest single-season winning streak in franchise history.

Sam Bradford threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jerick McKinnon with 25 seconds to play, but the 2-point conversion failed for the Vikings (6-6), who found out earlier on Thursday that coach Mike Zimmer would not be able to attend the game after having emergency eye surgery on Wednesday night.

Bradford completed 32 of 45 passes for 247 yards, Danielle Hunter had two sacks and Kai Forbath kicked three field goals for Minnesota, which has last six of the last seven games after a 5-0 start.

Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said Wednesday night that Zimmer was having the operation and uncertain to recover in time for the team’s game against Dallas on Thursday night. Spielman said he has met with coaches and players to put a contingency plan in place in case Zimmer is unable to coach against the Cowboys.

Zimmer first experienced trouble with his vision a couple of days before the Oct. 31 game at Chicago and scratched the eye inadvertently during the game.

The Vikings said Spielman wouldn’t be available for further comment until Thursday morning.
